At the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year, a group of F1 champions gathered for a discussion regarding the sport and how it has evolved over the last 75 years.<\/p>\n
Involved in this talk were Mika Hakkinen, Jackie Stewart, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Jacques Villeneuve, Mario Andretti and Emerson Fittipaldi.<\/p>\n
The discussion between the seven drivers was released in full on the F1 YouTube channel earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Of course, there are various world championship-winning drivers missing from the list – including 2007 title holder Kimi Raikkonen.<\/p>\n
Taking to social media, Raikkonen could not resist taking a swipe at the omission via social media.<\/p>\n
Responding to the official Formula 1 Instagram post about the meeting, Raikkonen posted a comment that was perfectly in character: “Thanks for the invite.”<\/p>\n
His deadpan reaction immediately struck a chord with fans, with the comment rapidly going viral and accumulating more than 18,000 likes.<\/p>\n
Since his retirement from Formula 1 at the end of the 2021 season, Raikkonen has made only sporadic public appearances, largely stepping away from the motorsport spotlight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The driver secured the 2007 world title with Ferrari, and throughout his career, he achieved a total of 21 race victories and stood on the podium 103 times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the famous Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year, a group of F1 champions gathered for a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":88586,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[3007,1687,3010,3008,3011,3009,831,372,6537,832,3006,3005,3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-88585","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-f1","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motorsport","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88585","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88585"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88585\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88586"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88585"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88585"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88585"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
